I just set up a Boards FSA league there

Gonna give this game a lash again this year. Different from the official fpl game, prizes up for grabs etc.

2019/20 code to join 8430565

F1ngers · 21-07-2018 2:41pm

In, but don't know how much attention I'll give to it though.

Its easier to manage now since you can select your captains in advance

Bump

claw · 27-07-2018 12:54pm

I try and play this year so I've joined the league too!

patmac · 27-07-2018 1:36pm

I’m in, did a lot better in this game than fpl last year.

2nd Row Donkey · 29-07-2018 5:06pm

Gonna give it a miss this year lads .... find it too much of a distraction from fpl.

manual_man · 01-08-2018 10:55pm

Up to 6 entrants now. Hopefully we can make it up to around 20 come kick-off

free Boards FSA league: code again to enter is 8374574

manual_man · 05-08-2018 7:51pm

Bump! Let's try and increase the numbers!

manual_man · 08-08-2018 2:39pm

Bump. C'mon lads and lassies let's get a few more to enter this

Free to enter (and Boards FSA league code above) and the small matter of £50,000 for the overall competition winner

manual_man · 10-08-2018 9:25am

Bumping this one last time

https://fantasyfootball.skysports.com

Boards league code 8374574

It's an easy enough (free) game to play but i'll sum it up:

- 100m budget for squad of 11 (yes 11 - no subs)
- 2 wildcards - first one used during 1st int'l break
- 40 free transfers to be used any time during the season (max 5 per gameweek)
- multiple captains per gameweek - one can be set in advance for each day of the gameweek assuming you have a player playing on that day - if not you can always transfer a player in (transfers can be done while the gameweek is in play - eg. transfer a player out after Saturday games for one who is yet to play on Sunday - adding a strategic element). All your captains score double points
- points scored for goals assists clean sheets all the usual but bonus works a bit differently - extra points awarded for high numbers of passes/tackles/gk saves as well as for the player awarded man of the match.
- free to enter like i said with prizes on offer (£50k 1st prize) - there's also tiered money leagues (£2/£5/£10/£20)you can enter for anyone who fancies a punt but you need a skybet account for this.

9 entrants now in the Boards league

ConnyMcDavid · 10-08-2018 5:32pm

Just joined too.

2nd Row Donkey · 10-08-2018 5:36pm

Right ... I'm in. Bit thrown together at the last minute.

Also, Salah is a forward, wtf.

manual_man · 10-08-2018 6:27pm

Good stuff

Just remembered there's Free League prizes "Awarded to the three Free Leagues that have the highest average points total based on its five highest scoring teams at the end of the 2018/19 season:" 1st £1000 2nd £500 3rd £250

breffni bogballer · 10-08-2018 6:43pm

just joined, anyone else have trouble logging into their account. i ended up creating a whole new account and had team set up,then realised i had no captain in tonights match,anyhow i threw 11 together and had 3 captain picks for the 1st weekend

:):)

manual_man · 12-08-2018 10:05pm

Some impressive scoring in our league

2nd Row Donkey · 12-08-2018 10:20pm

Well I f**ked up my captaincies. Had Aguero captain for all 3 match days. Didn't save them properly I guess.

manual_man · 23-08-2018 12:18pm

Some good scoring in our league. A shout out to our league leader Optimus' Prime 11 who is just 5 points outside the top 100 with a very impressive 252 points

manual_man · 31-08-2018 12:44pm

How are we doing in this? I'm on 299pts, 4 transfers used, ranking 1331. Happy with that start. I doubt i'll use any transfers this week, then we have our first wildcard to use over the international break.

I nearly forgot to join the bloody thing. Just did now.

2nd Row Donkey · 01-09-2018 11:08am

Also, is there a rule for our league whether teams are private or public (visible).

manual_man · 01-09-2018 11:09am

No rule. You just choose whichever one you want

There is a setting so your team can be private.

264 points, ranking 7346, 9 transfers used. Put Phil Jones in last Monday to stupidly cover the Monday match and a lack of Sunday players this weekend, have rectified that now!

How's all your wildcards coming along?

Terrible. Hate my team. I'm 20million over budget for anything half decent.

Have a team, happier with the structure of it now, might make a couple of changes to it but it's well set up for the next few weeks I think.

manual_man · 15-09-2018 11:29am

Gone with this lot

Ryan
Alonso Mendy Robertson Pereira Bennett
Zaha Hazard Maddison
Aguero Mitrovic

Aguero Bennett and Ryan the 3 captains for this week

My team is similar to yours except I have Wan Bissaka instead of Pereira, Pedro instead of Hazard and Salah instead of Mitrovic. Would rather have options in my attack so I can put in Kane or someone like that for Salah or Aguero if needs be! Have the exact same defence as my fantasy premier league team.
